Leon “Flippetyflop“ Louis, 27, UK - WCOOP Main Event final tablist
Leon "Flippetyflop" Louis has had a good run of form. Not only did he cash in the UKIPT a few days ago (40th, ￡2,610) which is nice in of itself, but he came in off the back of an 8th place finish in the WCOOP Main Event for $159,975.
Louis is still flip-flopping his way through this ￡5,250 Main Event field with the bubble just about to appear on the horizon. You can follow his progress through our live updates or, more personally, at @Flippetyflopuk. He’s a Supernova Elite. Specialises in Heads up Hyper Turbos and used to play 50-60 hours per week but has been trying to cut that down to get a better work/life balance.

Ludovic Geilich, 25, Glasgow, UK
Ludovic Geilich won UKIPT Marbella in June for € 130,000 - huge field of 763 players. He's been playing poker for ten years, five years full time. He has a German mother and Scottish father and has lived in Scotland all his life but has a lot of German family. He mainly plays online MTTs with the occasional dabble into Limit Hold’em cash, although he spurns tracking software and HUDs as not being in the spirit of the game. His biggest live result until he won UKIPT Marbella was for ￡7,830 in a ￡300 GUKPT side event in Walsall. Online he’s chopped The Bigger $22 on PokerStars for $14,000. Before turning to poker full time, Geilich was a proficient snooker player, but the difficulty of the game means that going back after a break is not possible in a serious manner; he now focuses mainly on the virtual felt.
